San Diego Invites the World: The 1915 Exposition A Pictorial Essay Iris Engstrand and Matthew Schiff The first substantial groups of people traveled to California from the East Coast during the Gold Rush in 1848-49. They soon found that trains were confined to east of the Mississippi and slow-moving ships carried passengers and cargo around Cape Horn. The first railroad to cross overland and connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans was opened in 1855 across the Isthmus of Panama, then a part of Colombia. With the completion of the first U.S. transcontinental railroad in 1869 followed by the Santa Fe railroad in 1885, thousands of people were able to travel to California more easily, leading to a real estate boom in the 1880s. San Diego planned a city park of 1,400 acres on a central mesa. Unfortunately for San Diego, the Panic of 1893 led to a quick decline in population and properties were left vacant. With a gradual economic recovery during the early 1900s, San Diego evolved into a small city with big ambitions. Residents believed their port and city could become an important base for the US Navy, especially after the visit of Theodore Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet in 1908. An initial attempt by France to build a sea-level canal across Panama in the 1880s failed, but only after considerable excavation was carried out. This effort was useful to the United States, which completed the present Panama Canal in Iris Engstrand is Professor of History at the University of San Diego and co-editor of The Journal of San Diego History. Matthew Schiff is Marketing Director at the San Diego History Center and a writer of San Diego history. They are co-curators of the current exhibit San Diego Invites the World featuring the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. 337 The Journal of San Diego History 1913 and officially opened it in 1914. Along the way, the Republic of Panama was created through its separation from Colombia in 1903 after a US backed revolt left United States in control of the Canal project area. As early as 1909, San Diego booster D. C. Collier began discussing San Diego as the first port of call for ships passing through the Canal. Promotions talked about the “Kiss of the Oceans” and businessmen supported the idea of dredging San Diego harbor to accommodate larger commercial vessels as well as naval ships. By 1910, other city boosters such as John Spreckels, G. Aubrey Davidson, and George Marston began promoting the idea of a celebration honoring the completion of the Canal with a world’s fair or exposition in 1915. City Park was renamed Balboa Park to honor the first European who, in 1513, reached the Pacific Ocean. There was no lack of controversy over the planning—both on the home front and up and down the state. As it turned out, San Francisco secured federal approval to host the official World’s Fair and called it the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Bay Area planners chose towering Beaux-Arts and neoclassical buildings to grace Golden Gate Park, while San Diegans selected a regional theme showcasing a Spanish fantasy city. Even though Southern California’s past reflected the simple architecture of missions and ranchos, Anglo promoters— mostly bankers, lawyers, real estate developers and merchants—convinced park planners to hire architects who could heighten the romantic aspects of the city’s Spanish beginnings. None of the elegant baroque structures planned for the fair had actually been built in southern California, but, even so, The San Diego Union predicted that the elegance of the exposition would impress all visitors and triple the city’s population. Local architect Irving Gill had some simple ideas for buildings in the park, while easterners Bertram Goodhue and his partner Carleton Winslow from a firm in New York had been impressed by Spanish Portrait of Bertram Goodhue Colonial architecture in Mexico and Spain. Previously, from Romy Wyllie, Bertram Goodhue: His Life and the accepted “fair style” was Beaux-Arts, classical Residential Architecture, Greek, or Roman. These were the styles of Chicago’s frontispiece, Courtesy of Goodhue Family Archives. famed “White City” of 1893 and San Francisco’s competing exposition. Goodhue proposed to design his buildings in baroque Spanish Colonial Revival since a “new city” of Old Spain would not only be in closer harmony with the beauty of Southern California, but would be a distinct step forward in American architecture. The Olmsted Brothers, a nationally famous landscape architectural firm, chose 338 The 1915 Exposition about 100 acres in the southwest corner of the park and preserve the rest of the park as open space. Their father, Frederick Law Olmsted, who had designed New York’s Central Park, believed in a maximum of green space. Fellow landscape architect Samuel Parsons agreed. Collier, appointed Director General of the Fair, disagreed and claimed to need more space and buildings to attract exhibitors and promote business growth. Goodhue and others opposed the open space plan so the Olmsted brothers quit the David C. Collier, Director project.

  • Section 5.4.3: Risk Assessment – Flood
    SECTION 5.4.3: RISK ASSESSMENT – FLOOD 5.4.3 FLOOD This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the flood hazard. HAZARD PROFILE This section provides hazard profile information including description, extent, location, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences. Description Floods are one of the most common natural hazards in the U.S. They can develop slowly over a period of days or develop quickly, with disastrous effects that can be local (impacting a neighborhood or community) or regional (affecting entire river basins, coastlines and multiple counties or states) (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2006). Most communities in the U.S. have experienced some kind of flooding, after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, coastal storms, or winter snow thaws (George Washington University, 2001). Floods are the most frequent and costly natural hazards in New York State in terms of human hardship and economic loss, particularly to communities that lie within flood prone areas or flood plains of a major water source. The FEMA definition for flooding is “a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties from the overflow of inland or tidal waters or the rapid accumulation of runoff of surface waters from any source (FEMA, Date Unknown).” The New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission (NYSDPC) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) indicates that flooding could originate from one

  • Letter to a Loved
    Dear Loved One, To begin, I love you and I appreciate everything you’ve done for me throughout my life. You have been an incredibly supportive force and it has meant a lot to have you cheering me on as I have traversed life’s ups and downs. And I agree, we have been watching and listening to the folks who have lost everything. For eight minutes and forty-six seconds I watched as a police officer, sworn to protect his community, slowly asphyxiated a Black man repeatedly pleading for his life. I watched as two men accosted and murdered a Black man in Georgia, because he had the audacity to allegedly look at a construction site. I listened as a Black man pleaded for the police to protect him after plain clothes police officers executed a no-knock raid on his home and fatally shot his girlfriend as she lay in bed – a no-knock raid looking for an individual the police already had in custody. In fact, for my entire life I’ve watched and listened as my community has fallen victim again and again to a militarized police department too quick to pull the trigger and too slow to police itself. The recurring atrocity of a police officer killing an unarmed Black American has persisted from the very founding of our Nation to the moment your eyes touch this sentence. At our Nation’s founding, night watches and paddyrollers, the early manifestations of our modern police force, roamed plantations searching for and killing slaves who had the courage to run from the indignities of slavery.

Limitation on DoD Contract Performance Bonuses – #4371 1. Amendment # 4373 – No Federal funds for the future development and operation of the Defense Travel System Background The Defense Travel System (DTS) is an end-to-end electronic travel system intended to integrate all travel functions, from authorization through ticket purchase to accounting for the Department of Defense. The system was initiated in 1998 and it was supposed to be fully deployed by 2002. DTS is currently in the final phase of a six-year contract that expires September 30, 2006. In its entire history, the system has never met a deadline, never stayed within cost estimates, and never performed adequately. To date, DTS has cost the taxpayers $474 million – more than $200 million more than it was originally projected to cost. It is still not fully deployed. It is grossly underutilized. And tests have repeatedly shown that it does not consistently find the lowest applicable airfare – so even where it is deployed and used, it does not really achieve the savings proposed. This amendment prohibits continued funding of DTS and instead requires DOD to shift to a fixed price per transaction e-travel system used by government agencies in the civilian sector, as set up under General Services Administration (GSA) contracts. Quotes of Senators from last year’s debate • Senator Allen stated during the debate last year that “as a practical matter we would like to have another year or so to see (DTS) fully implemented.” • Senator Coleman stated during the debate, “… if we cannot get the right answers we should pull the plug, but now is not the time to pull the plug.
